Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Half Pans

Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Half Pans come in a range of 48 vivacious colors inspired by the original palette of the French Impressionists. Their honey-based formulation offers a smooth consistency as well as extraordinary brilliance, luminosity, and longevity.

Sized to match the paints contained in Sennelier French Artists' Watercolor Sets, these half pans are easy to remove, rearrange, and replace in their cases (sold separately). Pan watercolors also require less setup and cleanup than tube watercolors, which makes them very convenient for the painter on the go.

I really love these honey based pans from Sennelier. I have tried squeezing their tube paints into pans but they are much stickier and thus attract debris. These are perfect as they are portable, rewet easily bc of the honey but are not sticky. I have tried other brands, but I keep coming back to Sennelier.

I own a 24 pan watercolor set ( other brand ) it's been good. Started running out of some of the colors and started replacing them with Sennelier half pans. The color was so rich and intense I ordered more and will again.

plusColors are pure with good transparent intensity.Colors soften easily with a little water.Wet brush picks up the color easily.price is good because they are on sale.minusburnt sienna is rather weak.packages are a pain to open.

I had heard good things about this brand but I noticed the color mixing chart on a blog showed a disproportionate number of dark mixes and the included colors did not have a warm yellow or earth yellow so when I ordered this set, I also added some extra pans. In addition, the box will hold 14 so I added to the palette as well with only one color necessarily removed. In the end, I removed the included purple which is not lightfast anyway and added a deep yellow, raw sienna and Viridian green. I did switch warm sepia for raw umber but the colors are close so that isn't necessary. I found my mixing chart to be much more balanced with these changes! They are very nice to use and I am very pleased with them. The only set I find reaching for more for certain pieces where I want clearer, bright almost luminescent tones is Winsor and Newton professional pans which I picked up about the same time.

I am loving these watercolors. I have used many different brands, and these are wonderful. Great flow and rich vibrant pigments. They are a great value for the quality as well. I would definitely consider these professional grade. Highly recommend.

A stunning glimpse into the making of Sennelier L'Aquarelle, Honey Based Artists' Watercolor. Continuing its traditional color palette used by French Impressionist painters, Sennelier has now expanded the Sennelier Artists' Watercolor line to 98 colors to include more rich darks.
